If there is any need for somebody to work on web design or write documentation or READMEs etc., I would be up for the job.

I've had some tiny (not exaggerating here, actually tiny) experience with programming in ObjC for the Mac, and am pretty comfortable with console-based C++ (no WxWidgets, Qt, etc., and that pretty much renders C++ useless for a project like this). I enjoy UI/UX design (most major platforms; every now and then, there's a platform so ugly I just can't design for it), so if you hit a dry spot there, I would be happy to help there.

Please reply to this thread or PM me for further inquiry. Thanks.

I've figured out the issue. Indeed, it was just avast! antivirus acting up again. Thing is, it didn't even notify me that it was blocking the file so it took awhile to figure that out. After I disabled it, it extracts and executes just fine.

If you're talking about the Linux issue, I fixed it: I needed to install libcurl-gnutils or something along that name, I don't remember the exact name, but just google that and it'll probably autocorrect it to the right name.

The windows issue, I still haven't resolved yet. I tried to stick it on with my Linux distro (which copies and extracts it just fine, BTW). Execution still fails though.

Hello everybody,

Just a noob here. Who else...
Anyways, I'm working on CentOS 5, and am trying to compile pooler's cpuminer. (The precompiled binary they offer requires glibc 2.6 or higher, while CentOS 5 only ships with 2.5, and from what I've read, attempting to update glibc without upgrading CentOS has some disastrous results). FYI I'm planning to run this on a dedicated server that I don't have physical access to, so OS upgrade is out of the question.

Anyways, I run
This returns the output (eventually):

Any ideas? The error points to something with LibCurl but I'm not sure exactly what.

--------------------------

ALSO, another problem I'm having with cpuminer (this time on Windows x86_64, I thought I'd squeeze it in here rather than bother everyone with yet another noob thread):

I've downloaded the zip file of the Windows binaries a couple dozen times now, and tried extracting it. Using WinRAR, 7Zip, and Windows Explorer, all of them freeze momentarily when unzipping, then show the progress as completed, and I go to view the files. There are three files in the archive (two DLLs and one EXE), yet after extraction, there is only the two DLLS (the EXE is gone, namely minerd.exe). I've tried extracting matoking's ScryptMiner, and similarly, the minerd.exe application is MISSING from the folder where the files go. I can't download the minerd.exe file either: Chrome returns a "failed to download" or "network error" -- so helpful...

I've also tried extracting on other Windows computers...same issue. I've downloaded the ZIP file onto my phone and extracted it with no issues -- all files present and accounted for. Then, I found that I have the same issue with copy/cut-pasting the file--the progress bar steps through, but the file isn't there. I've disabled all antivirus software -- even ran Windows in safe mode, and there's no luck. I'm considering rebooting into my dual boot Linux installation and attempt to stick the EXE on another drive partition and just run it from there, but for future reference, what kind of demented ghost in my system could be causing this?
